The students of the Technical University were carrying out an experiment with a miltimeter in the lab last week. They had checked a mains socket in the wall and they had followed all the safety instructions before the beginning of the experiment. During the experiment Paul was using two probes that time. While he was inserting them into two terminals of the socket, his groupmate Alex was turning the function selector switch to the VAC (voltage alternating current) range. The needle was indicating the pressure of electricity, i.e. the voltage in the mains. Everybody was watching the indications on the volts scale. It was 220 volts. Next time they are planning to measure the current in a table lamp.

II. Read and translate the text. Diesel Starting Systems
Some diesels use an additional gasoline engine for starting. The small engine is attached to the diesel by means of a clutch. The gasoline engine is known to crank the diesel until the diesel starts. Exhaust from the starting engine is used to heat the intake manifold of the diesel engine. After a short warm-up period, the compression lever is returned to normal position and the throttle valve opened so that the diesel will start.
Most farm tractor diesels use electric starting motors similar to those used in gasoline engine tractors. They are operated from the battery on the tractor. In warm weather starting is usually not a problem, but for cold-weather starting there are several starting aids. Some tractors are equipped with electric plugs to heat the intake manifold before starting the engine. The heated intake manifold warms the air entering the engine so that the engine will start when cranked by the starter.
To start an engine ether may also be used. Ether has a low ignition point so that the heat of compression in cold weather is enough to ignite the ether. This will then ignite the fuel charge.
Ether is highly explosive and must be injected into the engine only when the starter is cranking the engine. Engine-block heaters can also be used to start the diesel engine. These heaters are usually electrically operated and heat either the oil in the crankcase or the engine coolant.
